Review: Wrong Turn

Rated R | 84 mins

I like the slasher genre; I just don’t respect it. Wrong Turn is no exception; it comes equipped with forks in the road, broken-down cars, a group of kids who split up in the middle of the woods, genetically deformed villains, and twenty foot jumps from the tops of towers that are being burned from the ground up. Sounds fun, eh? Sometimes it is, but the small amount of entertainment that Wrong Turn may bring is overpowered by its sheer awfulness. As enjoyable as watching Eliza Dushku run from mutated antagonists in the woods is, Wrong Turn was dead on arrival, simply because of its atrocious script. If you find yourself driving into Blockbuster to pick this one up, turn back while you have the chance.
